Answers so far
Ryukyu Air Commuter (RAC) captain pay is estimated at about $107K per year, pre-tax. These are our own estimates from public information, not figures the airline publishes.
Ryukyu Air Commuter (RAC) first officer pay is estimated at about $63K per year, pre-tax, rising with seniority.
Ryukyu Air Commuter Pilot Recruitment — First Officer (F/O) — experienced hires / internal JAL Group transfers. Key requirements: Eligibility: Holders of a Commercial Pilot License (multi-engine, instrument), or internal JAL Group transfer; Work Location: Naha Airport (Okinawa); English Requirement: Aviation English Proficiency Level 4 or above. Hiring status varies by period. Please check the JAL Group recruitment page or the official RAC website. As a career path within the JAL Group, the internal transfer system is also widely used.
Ryukyu Air Commuter (RAC) captains, on our estimate, are on $107K, against roughly $179K at ANA and $161K at JAL. All three are pre-tax.
Dividing our estimated annual figures by 12, Ryukyu Air Commuter (RAC) captains earn about $8.9K a month and first officers about $5.2K. What actually lands each month moves with block hours flown, and where an annual bonus is paid the regular monthly figure sits lower with a spike in the bonus month.
We estimate Ryukyu Air Commuter (RAC) first officers at $63K and captains at $107K — a step of about $44K, or roughly 1.7×. The actual figure moves with seniority, type rating and the routes you fly.
Every figure on this page is gross, before income tax. We estimate captains at $107K and first officers at $63K pre-tax, and income tax, social insurance and any local levies come out of that. Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies. Airlines based in countries with no personal income tax — the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia — leave more of the same gross figure in your hand.
